The Scottish virus specialist on triple M said this morning said if just three people where infected on bondi beach the other day before the beach was closed those 3 alone would infect 50000K he also use times 3 on his model should see if someone can post a link

Today just in the sutherland shire there is 366 case comfirm and just times that by three tomorrow then 3 the day after those numbers do climb fast

How can anyone say with any confidence that we have only 1893 infected patients when only 148,000 people have been tested? I realise this was targeted testing on those with sore throats and running noses but the numbers remain inconclusive. I don’t wish to alarm anyone but this is a deadly invasive virus which sneaks up on you. 14,000 infected with the virus is definitely not out of the question. Stay safe.

Twentyforty 14000 IS DEFINITELY out of the question. At the *lowest * mortality rates reported globally, that would mean 140 dead and 700 hospitalised. We have 7 dead and 14 hospitalised which tracks pretty closely to all other data. I think the other data reflects well on the testing.

If we have 14000 cases, that would mean the death rate of 0.05% and we should just all get on with our day and forget about lockdowns.

Its hard to hide dead bodies and ICU beds.

@Tiger5150 I think you’re making some assumptions with your view? When you calculate the death rate you include all the new cases of SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2). You also exclude those not diagnosed and god knows how many people are living alone with the virus and others alone who are possibly not? The stats only show the positive number from those tested.

Not really no. No assumptions just simple maths. Our reported death and hospitalisation rates are about the lowest reported in the world based on the REPORTED figures. If the numbers are significantly higher it means our death and hospitalisation numbers (which are measurable and not debatable) are beyond anything experienced anywhere on earth. Again I said 14000 is definitely out of the question because if we had 7 deaths and 13 in hospital for 14000 deaths, then bring on the footy and open up the pubs!

2weeks ago we had 100 infected patients, today we have 2000 and these are only from testing.

Yes, that is the nature of exponential growth as I’ve bored many with here repeatedly here. Over week ago when bunker boy said it would be 14000 today I said it will be 2040. Who got closer?

My point is that based on global best case scenario for death and hospitalisation rates, our case numbers look about right. Definitely not too low.

They’re only what they are because of the novel nature of the virus , could very well be low for us, not based on results of total cases in Australia and whether a major portion are asymptomatic… which is what people continue trying to remind you to consider. We could blow up any time.

As we’ve both mentioned though, hope not

It has blow up that’s why the states tried to go rogue the other day and ScoMo stopped it ScoMo is plodding along trying not to make hard decisions he’s very weak let small businesses bleed out along with the Australian people just remember this at the next election what the libs have done or lack of

Also guy from SA told me which should be in the media to check blood pressure medication
because some brands have lung receptors and that’s very bad so change medication

Yes…everyone here should stop taking potentially life saving medication based on quality medical advice from bunker boy in SA.

Cmon Mods, what was the source. Is bunker boy a doctor?

I am not saying stop taking blood pressure medication just check if yours have lung receptors in it and check if it’s in your best interest to change brand

@Regan, Mate that is the wrong advice, the advice you should have said is check with your doctor. It is very dangerous to self medicate, even changing meds. Each will have different dosages depending on what they target.
